change management

This paper examines whether blockchain distributed ledger technology could improve the management of
trusted information, specifically considering data quality. Improvement was determined by considering the
impact of a distributed ledger as an authoritative source in TD Bank Group's Enterprise Data Quality
Management Process versus the use of standard authoritative sources such as databases and files.
Distributed ledger technology is not expected, or proven, to result in a change in the Data Quality
Management process. Our analysis focused on execution advantages possible due to distributed ledger
properties that make it an attractive resource for data quality management (DQM).

Interactive applications have changed dramatically over the last 15 years. In the late ‘90s,
large web companies emerged with dramatic increases in scale on many dimensions:
· The number of concurrent users skyrocketed as applications increasingly became accessible
· via the web (and later on mobile devices).
· The amount of data collected and processed soared as it became easier and increasingly
· valuable to capture all kinds of data.
· The amount of unstructured or semi-structured data exploded and its use became integral
· to the value and richness of applications.
Dealing with these issues was more and more difficult using relational database technology.
The key reason is that relational databases are essentially architected to run a single machine
and use a rigid, schema-based approach to modeling data.
Google, Amazon, Facebook, and LinkedIn were among the first companies to discover the serious
limitations of relational database technology for supporting these new application requirements.
Commercial alternatives didn’t exist, so they invented new data management approaches
themselves. Their pioneering work generated tremendous interest because a growing number of
companies faced similar problems. Open source NoSQL database projects formed to leverage the
work of the pioneers, and commercial companies associated with these projects soon followed.
Today, the use of NoSQL technology is rising rapidly among Internet companies and the
enterprise. It’s increasingly considered a viable alternative to relational databases, especially
as more organizations recognize that operating at scale is more effectively achieved running on
clusters of standard, commodity servers, and a schema-less data model is often a better approach
for handling the variety and type of data most often captured and processed today.

The world has changed. Yesterday everyone had a managed PC for work and all enterprise data was behind a firewall. Today, mobile devices are the control panel for our personal and professional lives. This change has contributed to the single largest technology-driven lifestyle change of the last 10 years.
As productivity tools, mobile devices now access significantly more data than in years past. This has made mobile the new frontier for a wide spectrum of risk that includes cyber attacks, a range of malware families, non-compliant apps that leak data, and vulnerabilities in device operating systems or apps. A secure digital business ecosystem demands technologies that enable organizations to continuously monitor for threats and provide enterprise-wide visibility into threat intelligence.

Lookout's Mobile Risk Matrix covering the key components of risk
How to evolve beyond mobile device management

The time has come for enterprise risk management to change. Mobile devices have become core to our personal and professional lives, yet most enterprises remain focused on traditional PC endpoints.
Although many of the same elements of risk that affect PCs also apply to mobile endpoints, simply extending current PC security controls to your mobile feet is ineffective.
Enterprise risk management needs to evolve to address mobile risks, and security professionals must architect mobile specifc security. To encourage this evolution, Lookout developed the Mobile Risk Matrix. Its purpose is to help security organizations understand the spectrum of risk on mobile devices and to provide data that demonstrates the prevalence of mobile risk.

Multinational companies (MNCs) are facing a unique combination of escalating customer, competitive and operational pressures which are forcing them to fundamentally change the way they do business and manage their IT infrastructures supporting network, security and mobility needs.
Lack of IT resources, limited capex and more complex global implementations are driving an increasing proportion of MNCs to offload, or 'out-task', various aspects of their day-to-day management responsibilities to skilled third-parties that can help perform these functions well.

"The new EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is the most important change in data privacy regulation in 22 years and it will have a profound impact on every organization that relies on the storage and processing of personal data of EU citizens. Starting May 25, 2018, the penalties begin for noncompliance, with GDPR fines of up to 4% of annual global revenue or 20 million euros - whichever is greater.
As this new regulation also impacts Veeam®, we wanted to share our insights on our road to compliancy. In a new executive brief, GDPR: 5 Lessons Learned, Veeam Compliance Experience Shared, we walk through these lessons and share how our software played a critical role within data management and protection strategies to ensure we remain compliant while delivering Availability for the Always On Enterprise™."

Configuration Management is at the heart of the IT Infrastructure Library (ITIL) and forms the foundation for Business Service Management (BSM). In fact, it is safe to say that neither the ITIL IT Service Management (ITSM) processes nor the BSM functions that leverage ITSM can be efficiently
carried out without accurate configuration and dependency information.

Data conversations continue to change as all businesses are trying to figure out today's reality of the move to the cloud, anywhere/anytime computing, and the explosive growth of data.

With continued market innovations in storage, cloud, and hyper-converged infrastructures, there are six key modern IT needs that are increasingly the focus of CIO and technology leaders.

Adapting to changing market dynamics is not easy for any enterprise-class organization. To stay competitive, companies not only must adapt different go to market and customer service strategies but also embrace internal business process and workflow changes, which in many cases can be more difficult. Enter Intelligent Business Process Management Suites (iBPMS). According to Gartner, iBPMS compress the observation-to-action-to-outcome cycle, and help business transformation leaders, business process directors and solution architects establish a fluid capability to handle big change. Gartner evaluated 15 iBPMS vendors including Pegasystems.

Gartner reports that 75% to 80% of organizations are using some form of agile project management process.
Although agile project management has been around for many years, the way we adapt it has changed significantly, especially as project portfolio management (PPM) practices have evolved.
In today’s businesses, technology plays a crucial role in our success, but technology can also make things more uncertain. This uncertainty has given us the motive to be more flexible and requires a “think on your feet” mentality. For this reason, we've seen a big spike in Agile PPM over the last few years. So how do we continue to deliver stability and efficiency, the result of traditional style PPM, while also giving in to necessary risks that lead to innovation and competitive edge?
It’s simple: accept the value in each method, avoid the inevitable pains that may develop with segregation, and opt for a unified agile and traditional PPM model.

Today’s businesses are rapidly transforming to prepare for the changes taking place in the global economy.
